Book 2 of 5: Library Cat Magical Mysteries

See all formats and editions

Francie’s accidentally tapped into dark magic powers, her best friend is accused of murder and there’s a cursed book hidden somewhere in town… If Francie wants to crack the case, she’ll need her grumpy cat, an octogenarian mentor and every trick in the book!

Small town librarian (and accidental dark magic user) Francie Vespertine would prefer her new magic to be fueled by rainbows and butterflies, but you can’t always get what you want. Neither can her feline familiar, Kongressman Kittles. When his favorite brand of cat litter is discontinued, he’s in a mood–and if the cat’s not happy, no one’s happy.

When a visiting author winds up dead at a book signing, Francie’s best friend Penny is accused of the crime. Now she’s got to find the real killer before they strike again.

And to make matters worse, another one of the cursed books is being read somewhere in town, but Francie can’t find it. A missing book is usually bad news for a librarian—but this book is more than just give-you-a-papercut bad. It’s pure evil and drives whoever reads it insane. But in a town as nutty as Hell’s Birth Canal, how will she even be able to tell who’s reading the book?

Plus the ghost of Frankenstein (Victor, not his monster) is lurking in the Archives and he’s on the verge of a major scientific breakthrough. Maybe he can resurrect Francie’s love life, too…

Jump back into the story and spend some time with Francie, Kong and the gang as they catch the killer and send another one of the cursed books back from whence it came.

This is a full-length paranormal cozy mystery novel with restless literary spirits, a fledgling middle-aged witch and a pampered pussycat in a secret supernatural town—plus a recipe easy enough for a weeknight meal yet fancy enough to please the most finicky of felines!

About the Author

Skye Sullivan lives in Los Angeles, but yearns for a magic wand to whisk her away to anywhere else. She studied creative writing at the University of California, but if they knew she'd one day be writing stories about witches solving murders with talking animals, the program director would have given her spot to someone else. Her pecan pie literally won an award and one time in 1994 a magician picked her to come up on stage to be part of the trick, so she's pretty much perfectly qualified to be writing this stuff. She's got two small kids, a husband, and a cat-and all the dishrags, overflowing laundry baskets, and legos to prove it.

Rachel Leblang has been using audiobooks to liven up her frequent car rides for over eight years now, and annoying her family with silly voices for twenty-seven. While earning a bachelor's degree in Japanese language studies, she was asked to lend her voice to a classmate's video game and a passion for voice acting was born! She made the natural leap into audiobooks, and has produced 114 books to date. When Rachel isn't locked in her recording booth, she enjoys working on her inordinate amount of puzzles, video gaming, and re-creating historical dress by hand-slowly.

I live in Los Angeles, but yearn for a magic wand to whisk me away to literally anywhere else. I studied creative writing at the University of California, but it was one of those fancy-pants programs where everyone was writing Literature with a capital L and nobody was having fun. Needless to say, I did not fit in.

I love Skye Sullivan's books!

The second book in this series is even better than the first one. Francie, Kong (her highly educated-according to him-feline familiar), Clara (an alias), and Francie's friends and family are all entertaining and fun. There is a murder to solve, the ongoing mysteries of the deadly books to be determined, spells to learn, and the list just goes on. The characters are highly entertaining, and each are unique and comical. When Kong told Francie that Socrates said, "If you can't be with the one you love, baby, love the one you're with." (He knows this because he has a minor in classics form Oxford), I burst out laughing-IN PUBLIC! This is just a sample of the humor in the book. Read this-you won't be sorry. I cannot wait for the third book in the series, (December can't come fast enough for me, even though I hate the snow)!

I enjoyed this mystery. Francie and Kittles have a murder to solve and an evil book to find. The plot is good, and kept me guessing. Francie learns more if the history of the books. I like the humor. I recommend this mystery to those who like magic, humor and paranormal creatures.

Fun, Suspense, Jealousy, Romance and That Cat!

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2023

Although the books in this series are standalone; I recommend reading them in order as parts of the story line are continuous.

At the end of the last book the literary ghost, Captain Ahab, fulfils his unfinished business with the help of Francie and Sophia. The first cursed book has been sent into the void, and we met Hortensia, her mentor in void magic who resides at Saguro Estates Retirement Home.

This book opens as Hortensia is helping Francie set up for a reading and book signing event at the home. The author, Walter Crabtree wrote a beloved western novel series that were also made into a TV series. Even Francie's mother is looking to negotiate the reboot of those on WitchFlix. Today is a meet and greet and Penny from Donut O'Clock is providing snacks for everyone.

While everyone is excited to meet the man, Walter Crabtree however, is an ornery old man who is very obnoxious and opinionated. Whitney an apprentice at the Archives and Francie's half-sister who is escorting him around makes notes of all his complaints, from the smell of manure to objecting to Kong's presence. He even makes inappropriate comments to one the nurses. Francie was more than happy to get him out of there and take him to his hotel.

Oh, how I love the Scarlet Hedgehog Hotel, The Quill and the leather-bound registration book with parchment pages serves as the check-in and I definitely got into a few giggle fits.

To top it all off, they discontinue Kong's favorite cat litter.

Of course, litter is the least of Francie's worries, but she does enjoy practicing magic with Sophie. Since she's accessed the void, she has abilities but needs to know how to use them correctly so as not to give in to the pull of the void.

Her practice is interrupted by a call from the Quill. Apparently, Walter Crabtree is dead and there is no lack of suspects. He was poisoned by a donut, which puts Francie's best friend at the top of the suspect list.

Now the library is haunted by Dr. Victor Frankenstein and Francie really doesn't want to know what he's up to in the bookstacks.

Francie starts dating Fintan and gets Romulo to do a writing workshop to replace the signing at Saguro Estates.

Plenty of fun and suspense with the investigation and Fintan shows a jealous side. Rend steals a kiss and let's not forget finding that second book.

I am already reading the next book!

Great story line and interesting characters. Not sure if I want Francie to be with Rand or Finton. I like them both. Of course, Kong is my favorite character being a cat with attitude (catitude). This is a wonderfully intriguing series and I'm so glad I decided to give it a look see!!!!!
